The return of CRAIG OWENS

James Corden will be back in Doctor Who, it seems.

Some people don't like Mr. Corden because of his ego (which, having seen his Twitter feed, I can attest to), but I liked the character he played. I'd prefer not to look at them both as a single unit.

of all the people.......

I enjoyed him. * Goes and grabs a plate for protection.*

Boo to this return. Series 5 was unmemorable except for one or two episodes. The Lodger was the worst of the lot.

Makes sense he'd return, given we see The Lodger's TARDIS interior in a shot for Series 6.

We saw Nine's TARDIS interior all the time in series 2-4 (including the Specials) He never came back

But really? Out of all the uber-brilliant characters that we saw in Series 5, they choose HIM? Why not Bill Nighy or Hawthorne! I'd love to know what the Demon Headmaster is up and how the Smilers and Winders are working a bit further down Starship UK's history!

So would I now that you mention it.

I'd rather just forget about and not revisit anyone or anything from series five...

I Just hope that SM doesn't try to make short, multicolor cybermen with big butts if we get a redesign.

Or noses.....

I was quite content to let Craig and his girl have a wonderful life off screen. Really did not need to see more of them. Unless it has something to do with the Tardis machine, or is it a sidrat? And maybe Craig built it, but he crossed his own timeline somehow and died in his own attic....

Right, that would be too clever.

Or maybe Craig made it and he is a Time Lord in human form. The Meddling Monk? Would they do that?

With his Time Lord persona stored in a $5 digital watch!

How about more van gogh?

Where he hacks off his ear and gives it to Amy?

Really, there's not much else they can do with Van Gogh. It was a well put together episode (I didn't care for it all that much, but I can't deny it was well done) but, especially in light of his appearance in The Pandorica Opens, not much else can be done with the character.

I agree personally. Keep the historical characters as one-off characters!

I was just reading about this episode. Apparently when the Doctor meets Craig again, there's a line of dialogue that's a nod to Troughton.

Spoiler:

It'll only work if he says it like Throughton. Smith's dialogue generally comes out more lightning quick, though. Still, can I just say I am loving the winks and nods to the classic series!
